Winter Pest Control in Sun City Center, FL: Keeping Your Home Pest-Free During the Cold Season

Winter Pest Treatment

Winter pest control treatment plans vary depending on the pest type, the severity of the infestation, and specific risks posed to your home and lawn. Our process for developing and executing custom treatment plans remains the same.

Inspection

We begin by sending a pest control expert to your home for a free inspection. The technician will assess the infestation and diagnose its cause, focusing on factors such as:

• The type and placement of shrubbery around your home
• The type, amount, and placement of mulch in your landscaping
• The condition and location of your water pipes
• The proximity of your home to water sources, wooded areas, or other buildings

Your technician will also ask questions about your home and preferences, such as:

• Has pest activity increased or decreased recently?
• Do you have children or pets?
• Do you prefer natural or organic products?

Once the inspection is complete, we will provide you with information about the potential health and property risks associated with the pests. The technician will explain the treatment options and help you create a custom plan. Initial treatment will target windows, doors, and other potential entry points.

Treatment

Using integrated pest management (IPM) principles, we apply a flushing agent and set traps that target pests while ensuring the safety of your family and pets. The treatment consists of both interior and exterior flush-out procedures.

You will receive a notification via text, email, or phone the day before your appointment to inform you of the technician’s expected arrival time. Your appointment will be scheduled within a convenient two-hour window.

Inside your home, we will:

• Apply a granular pesticide around the inner perimeter
• Treat the inside of windows and doors
• Remove spider webs
• Apply dust treatments in wall voids in your kitchen and bathroom
• Set baited traps and gel traps to address active infestations

For the exterior, we will:

• Focus on windows, doors, and other entry points
• Treat cracks and crevices
• Apply a granular pesticide around the outdoor perimeter
• Sweep and treat soffits to remove spiders, webs, and wasp nests
• Sweep and treat outdoor covered areas

After your service is completed, you will receive an email detailing the products used and a summary of the work done.

Prevention

If pests persist after the initial treatment, we will return to resolve the issue. If you are not completely satisfied, we offer a full refund.

Once the active pests are eliminated, we provide quarterly re-treatments around the exterior of your home to prevent future infestations. With our extensive knowledge of seasonal pests in Sun City Center, we rotate granular and spray agents to prevent pests from building resistance. This ensures long-term pest control and protection for your home.
